HUBLOT BIG BANG E UEFA EURO 2020TM

13th May 2021

With just 30 days to go before the UEFA EURO 2020TM kicks off, Hublot launches the official timepiece of the tournament – the Hublot Big Bang e UEFA EURO 2020TM watch. Hublot Loves Football!

After a year-long postponement during the pandemic, for the first time in its history the UEFA EURO 2020TM European Championship will be held in 11 cities in 11 different countries. The bezel on the Big Bang e watch sports the colours of the flags of the 12 nations initially planned to host. Aesthetically, it features the attributes of the brand’s iconic Big Bang model. For greater ergonomics, it is available in a 42 mm case in Black Magic, the spectacular polished black ceramic developed by Hublot technicians, which is water-resistant to a depth of 30 metres. The sapphire crystal means the AMOLED high definition touchscreen is easy to use while, just like a mechanical watch, the push- button on the rotary crown is used to activate its functions.

The operating system is driven by WearOS by Google and has been adapted and perfected to meet Hublot’s requirements, notably via an app specially dedicated to football which enables users to follow the competition in real time. Amongst the features of this watch, in addition, of course, to following the timing of the matches with timekeeping, half-time, extra time and the end of the match, the Big Bang e also notifies the wearer of cards awarded, player substitutions, penalties and goals. There is also the option to view information on the team line-ups, the players’ rankings and their position on the field.

In another major new initiative, 200 customers of the Big Bang e joining the Hublotista community will be given a non-fungible token (NFT) containing an excerpt from one of the episodes of the “Hublot Fusion Podcast”! These tokens strictly comply with the ERC-1155 standard, and their owners can exchange these tokens on platforms which are benchmarks in the world of NFTs, including OpenSea.

“Hublot Loves Football! And such a long wait will only serve to increase our enjoyment! Launching our new Big Bang e UEFA EURO 2020TM watch and our new “Hublot Fusion Podcast” at the same time enables the whole footballing world to be connected in the lead-up to the much anticipated UEFA EURO 2020TM tournament. We are bringing people together around the noble values of sport, all thanks to the sophistication of our technology.”
